The REST Admin API is a legacy API as of October 1, 2024. Starting April 1, 2025, all new public apps must be built exclusively with the [GraphQL Admin API](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql). For details and migration steps, visit our [migration guide](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/graphql/migrate).

# Location

A location represents a geographical location where your stores, pop-up stores, headquarters, and warehouses exist. You can use the Location resource to track sales, manage inventory, and configure the tax rates to apply at checkout. For a better understanding of the relationship between locations, inventory levels and inventory items, refer to the [InventoryLevel](https://shopify.dev/api/admin-rest/latest/resources/inventorylevel) resource reference documentation
